After a couple "lessons", I only purchase from the blue chip sellers. I'd rather pay a small premium to know what I'm getting from someone with a vast knowledge of pipes and who stands by their word. Since adopting this policy I've not had a single problem.

I sell on Ebay all they time, have around 800 (cant remember off the top of head) feedback, most from pipes. Never once cheated someone or screwed someone over. I personally have only been "burned" once..Took a chance spent the five bucks on the pipe...No harm no fowl.

First I research the maker and figure out what pipes I want i.e. Dunhill, Savinelli etc, and the vintage, the transition and pretransition etc, etc. Once I know what to look for I will search in Tobacciana by make to see whats out there
If you don't clean and sanitize pipes yourself I recommend Stem and Briar's pipe rejuvenation service, give em a look, I believe they also sell estate pipes

Give Briarblues.com a try. It's Jesse Jones' new site and he has a nice variety of estates that he has refurbished. Also, if you buy a pipe from him he offers one re-furbish a year free of charge. Nice touch!
May I suggest you search Bruces Cameras and Estate Pipes on Ebay. No junk. (I hope I am allowed to say this).
Did Jesse Jones buy Briar Blues from Mike? I have always seen Mike Glukler's name on that. Either way, Briar Blues has always been a great place to score estate pipes and Mike's knowledge of Castello's is **Awesome!**
I buy from a lot of people. Steve (Pipestud) and Marty (Pulver) are probably the two single biggest contributors to my pipe collection. I have purchase quite a few on here from members as well.
There used to be a guy on here who sold Savinelli's that seemingly 'fell of the back of a truck'. You could get smoking deals from that guy.

Actually, Mike Glukler continues to own and run his long-standing popular BriarBlues site. Jesse Jones is now co-owner of a new site called The Blue Room and has no affiliation with BriarBlues.
Oh, wow! Sorry, I goofed! Blue Room Briars is what I meant to say. I have both saved as "Favorites" and I wrote the wrong one. Either way, Blue Room Briars, Jesse's site, has quite a variety of estates. You can also buy new artisan pipes there including his own. Sorry for the mix-up!!! I too have purchased from Marty Pulvers (Great Experience!)and I have bid on several of Pipestud's auctions, but I always lose out because I am at work when the ones I want end! ARRRGH! Again, my apologies to Mike Gluker! I certainly never meant to misrepresent either him or Jesse Jones.
Thank you, Sir, for clearing that up.
